DENTON, Tx, July 2I.-The grand
jury which has been in session here for
ten days adjourned to-day, having re-
turned into court forly-three true bills,
twenty-five CT which were felony cases
and tWeniy-One misdemesnors. The
felony cases were as follows: Seventeen
indictments for theft Of horse, two for
burglary, two for theft of cattle and one
Tor assault to murder. And Of the mis-
deueanors there were four indictments
for disturbances, one for carrying pistol,
one for adultery, three for gaming, four
for unlaWfully selling liquor, six for dis
turbing public worship, one for simple
assault and one aggravated assault. Con
sidering the number CT cases for theft OF
horses It would seem that the law against
horse theft in this county sadly needs en-
forcement. Very little business is being
done in District court.
